Adolph said the woman can be seen entering the store and leaving several times on surveillance video. In that video, at about 6 p.m., she can be seen removing a tag from a $200 rug and using that tag to pay for another rug valued at $7,500.

She then left the store and returned a few minutes later carrying a different rug. As the camera recorded, she was seen placing the second rug on the floor, she then picked up a third rug, it was listed for sale at $5,000. With the $5,000 rung in hand, she left the store.
